Abstract:

The main motivations behind the webcasting company, Klewel, were to go beyond text-based conference proceedings to offer a user-friendly way to browse and replay presentations, access slides, and search for specific information within a recording. As the project got under way, the team came together, and eventually an innovative webcasting solution saw the light of day. Learn how the company moved from research to technology by focusing on multidisciplinary research, early real-world prototyping and testing, collaboration, and client needs.

Creating the Right Environment

Everything started in 2002 at the Idiap Research Institute (www.idiap.ch). when Herve Bour-lard-the Idiap Director—attracted several major projects, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the European Commission. As a result, many young and enthusiastic multimedia developers and researchers (including three of us— Jean-Marc Odobez, Alessandro Vinciarelli, and Mael Guillemot) joined Idiap and formed a highly multidisciplinary research environment.
